June that is great!
Where do you all get your ideas???? I am so not creative. |
Dee....
I get a lot a really wonderful ideas from art blogs and also YouTube tutorials! Try it out! |
MBE scrapbooks.
I'm a bit more simple... Crochet Knit Cross-stitch I like to make my own designs. |
Pinterest is a great place too.
But, be warned, it is addicting! :sparklyheart: |
I have seen a lot of folks talking about Pintrest and am going to have to finally check it out!

Yesterday, I made a very expensive mistake with some fabric – I miscalculated the measurements when cutting….I was prepared to use the fabric for something else at a later time; like luxury cushion covers….but, I couldn’t think about that, I’d just stuffed up some costly fabric…
Travelling to a meeting earlier today, I needed to steady my nerves and focused on hand embroidery designs for cushion covers – I gave up….my mind was on the meeting and my nerves were rattling and jangled – no way was I focusing on anything creative. So, with my Muses taking a wee break my thoughts stayed with the meeting – travelling home, I came up with an idea to incorporate my mistake into the Sweater and embroidery design – I hoping it works…. |

pinterest is REALLY lovely, and full of ideas!

My passion is scrapbooking. But not in the normal sense of scrapbooking. I love to make mini albums, cards, 3-d projects such as cute little boxes, purses, bags, etc.
Having an unexpected 2-4 weeks off work I hope to make some really cool fuckery..Will have to post some of my projects when I get them done. I am working on a paper satchel that will hold 4 cards and envelopes. Pretty cute gift idea. Damon bought me a cricut for my birthday. It is awesome!! It is a die cut machine. Cuts paper in all sorts of shapes. I cant wait to try my hand at things like Tinkerbell images. |
So far, I’ve resisted the temptation to look at Pinterest – I know when I do I’ll be under its spell….and I’m weeeaaakkk! I’m another one who gets inspiration from Etsy and stitching/crafty blogs, lol!
Last night I went over to one of my friends from the stitching group – she lent me the use of her sewing machine as we chatted and laughed. After doing household chores this morning I made a start on the Sweater that I stuffed up when cutting out….over the seam (that wasn’t meant to be), I’m hand embroidering a ‘lacing-up’ effect to “mask” it. I’m not wanting to hide the seam completely, as I can’t….what I’m wanting to do is give the effect that the ‘lacing-up’ is meant to be a part of the Sweater design naturally….of course, it could end up looking like a Picasso that’s been painted whilst drunk and then I have to unpick it all and start again! LOL! ….Here’s hoping that doesn’t happen, lol!

June, I think they make a patch for that.

Every year I save all of my holiday cards in an attempt to recycle them and make "new" cards the next year. Every year it also never happens. :| :hk1: |

My current craft obsessions are subversive cross-stitch and decorating small, glass vials with beads. I'm crafty when I'm inspired. Recycling inspires me. I like being to do a project without having to buy anything. I also like creating something spectacular out of found objects.
